  • Engine: 289 V8 crank snout Woodruff key sizes?

    Well, I've managed to put my crank snout Woodruff keys in such a safe place that I can't now find them. Looked all over multiple times, no luck. So I guess I need to go buy some more so I can find my old ones right after I put those in. Local hardware store has them, problem is I'm not too familiar with those or how the sizing works. Can somebody tell me what sizes the V8 cranks take? Not sure it makes any difference, but this is a long snout 289 crank. It needs 2 of them, difference sizes. Thanks.

    All good now. I got the answer from Jim Maxey 1st thing this morning. And last night in bed trying to go to sleep, I realized I was also missing the oil slinger and other front end parts, and those keys were probably with that stuff wherever it was. And I was pretty sure I didn't just lose those parts too, must be somewhere all together. So before going to the store to get new ones, I doubled down again and re-dug deeper this morning and finally found the hidden box that stuff was in. So all good now, found the old ones, and the other parts, can keep making progress. But for posterity's sake, they are: 1/4"X1" and 3/16"X3/4". So that is how you size Woodroff keys. Thanks Jim!
